GANGgajang · Manly · Nov 1, 2026

<p>GANGgajang have been a defining presence in Australian music for four decades, blending rock, pop and distinctly Australian storytelling. Formed in the mid-1980s, the band broke through with their self-titled debut album and the enduring anthem &ldquo;Sounds of Then (This is Australia),&rdquo; a song that has continued to resonate across generations and become part of the country&rsquo;s cultural fabric.</p><p>Across albums including gangAGAIN, Lingo and Oceans and Deserts, GANGgajang built a reputation for melodic songwriting, sharp observation and a sound rooted in Australian identity. Their reach has extended well beyond home, including a major following in Brazil and strong ties to surf culture through Quiksilver&rsquo;s cult film Mad Wax. Decades on, GANGgajang remain one of Australia&rsquo;s most enduring and recognisable bands.</p><p>Doors Open: 7:00pm</p>
